Obama Official: 'At the White House, We Love MSNBC'

May 5th, 2009 10:05 AM

It appears the love MSNBC feels towards Barack Obama is not unrequited, for last Wednesday, a member of the Administration actually declared in public, "At the White House, as we always like to say, we love MSNBC."

Such occurred at the Atlantic Council Awards Dinner hosted by "Morning Joe"'s Joe Scarborough and Mike Brzezinski.

After they introduced special assistant to President Obama for the arts and culture Kareem Dale, he began (video embedded below the fold, relevant section at 1:50, h/t Hot Air):

Thank you, thank you so much.  Thank you for that great introduction.  At the White House, as we always like to say, we love MSNBC. 

What kind of a thrill will this news give Chris Matthews?
